Happy to be speaking at the brilliant POST in Hove with my friends the Kraszna-Krausz book awards within a brilliant lineup for the inaugural photobook weekender.
”Join us for a celebration of the photobook in collaboration with POST where we will be showcasing the 2026 Book Awards longlisted titles alongside a diverse programme of photobook-related artist talks and activities.”
Highlights of the Photobook Weekender include a live Messy Truth podcast with Charlotte Flint and Gem Fletcher, reflecting on Flint’s recent work on Tee A. Corinne (shortlisted for the 2025 Photography Book Award); a panel discussion with photographer and KKF juror Jermaine Francis on the evolving role and viability of the photobook; an artist talk by Amin Yousefi, discussing his debut publication with Luhz Press; a presentation on the power of collective practice and a photobook pub quiz from The Photobook Club Collective.
Whether you’re a photographer, publisher, or simply curious, this is a chance to engage with some of the most exciting voices and ideas shaping the photobook industry today!
Tickets provide entry to the main Photobook event on Saturday 4 July, 10am – 5pm. Please note that all proceeds from ticket sales go to support POST, helping it to continue its cultural programme. Student tickets are available at a cheaper price. POST members can attend for free.
